My buddy is a huge degenerate. He has all of these side bets with his other degenerate bar friends. He is giving some of his friends ND +14-17 points for those who wont take just the 9.5. THats how confident he is that Bama rolls on ND.
So for those who dont know, a lightning bet is when you bet a certain amount of dollars (not sure if there is a limit) per point that a team covers by. SO if you want $25 per point, and the spread is 3, and the team you take wins by 10, then you get $175. BUUUUTT, if that same team -3 loses by 7, Then you owe $250. (10 point difference X $25).
So his FB status is "For every point ND wins by, I shall a keep a mustache that many months. Terrible lightning mustache bet"
The good thing about him loving Bama is that there is a reason he is a degenerate---becase he loses a high frequency.
